    Way to go Carl!

    [​IMG]

    Here is a joke especially for you :

    A Texan's way of explaining.........


    It is a slow day in the East Texas town of Madisonville.



    It is raining, and the little town looks totally deserted.



    Times are tough, everybody is in debt and everybody lives on credit.



    On this particular day a rich tourist from the East is driving through town.



    He enters the only hotel in the sleepy town and lays a hundred dollar bill on the desk stating he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night.


    As soon as the man walks up the stairs, the hotel proprietor takes the hundred dollar bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.


    The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to pay his debt to the pig farmer.


    The pig farmer then takes the $100 and heads off to pay his debt to the supplier of feed and fuel.


    The guy at the Farmer's Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his debt to the local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has lately had to offer her "services" on credit.


    The hooker runs to the hotel and pays off her debt with the $100 to the hotel proprietor paying for the rooms that she had rented when she brought clients to that establishment.


    The hotel proprietor then lays the $100 bill back on the counter so the rich traveler will not suspect anything.


    At that moment the traveler from the East walks back down the stairs after inspecting the rooms.


    He picks up the $100 bill and states that the rooms are not satisfactory...... Pockets the money and walks out the door and leaves town.


    No one earned anything. However the whole town is now out of debt, and looks to the future with a lot of optimism.


    That, ladies and gentlemen, is how the United States Government is conducting business today.

    I'm rather late in conveying my congratulations, Carl!

    I don't think I'll even make it to part way through that number! Well done, my friend.

    Hello and thanks JR, Mike and Michelle,

    JR, I look forward to the day you top 10K here as I know they will all be worth reading ;-))

    Mike, thanks for the great laugh. Teach me how to post pictures-that's gotta be the biggest laugh of the Century :lol: :lol: Though some have tried to teach me that as well as that multi quote thing, I STILL can't do them multi-quotes-argh ;-))

    Michelle, late or no-praise from you is greatly valued. Long time no see and hope life isn't too busy for you these days? ;-))

    PS, I hope I will be allowed to send you something for Mothers Day next year ;-)) I found something that I know you would like a well as my good friend Cindy-over on the Duke Wayne site ;-))

    Take care you all, and it's 4Am here so im going off to bed. See ya when I wake.

    PSS, some of my typos will cease when I get a new keyboard. Several keys on this one stick all the time and I don't catch them till I come back later and see that my spelling looks like it was done by a 4 year old.
